Construction
Construction Industry
In our experience many construction companies are not as efficient as they should be in organising and buying in training and then claiming their full entitlement to CITB/ConstructionSkills Grants. By outsourcing your training management to Helmsman you will be saving yourself a good deal of money and stress and enhancing your bottom line. If you do training, why not get the maximum Grants towards it?
Since 1997 we have been organising and managing training for our construction and house-building industry Clients and we have obtained increased grants in all cases.
We can:-
- Identify your training requirements
- Prepare an annual Training Plan
- Submit the plan to CITB/Construction Skills
- Organise the delivery of training in the most economic ways possible
- Take on all of the administrative tasks
- Ensure the collection of maximum claims on all training courses
- Reconcile the Training Plan at 4 and 8 months and year end
- Deal with the CITB/ConstructionSkills audit and agree monies due
- Prepare reports and other administration as required
Making grant applications is a very complex area and many thousands of pounds are lost by companies that don't know the subtleties of the system. Using a CITB/Construction Skills Training Plan is the way to maximise these Grants and we take care all of the bureaucracy associated with doing this. As an example of our expertise in this area, just before the end of the year, we claimed over £15,000 for a large house-builder who had made no claims in the previous year - and we could have trebled that if we had been managing the process from the start!
These extra grants often cover our costs, so you not only save time on administration and management costs normally associated with training - you can also make money!
CSCS, CPCS Cards & CRB Checks
Keeping up to date with Cards is an area where our expertise can remove the stress from your agenda. With more companies requiring proof of competence, applying for and renewing these accreditations can become a full time job! Here at Helmsman, where we deal with these applications on a daily basis, our expertise can free upo the time that people have to spend on the applications when they have better things to do.
We are specialists in dealing with all aspects of an application, including:
- Booking Health & Safety Touch Screen Tests,
- all of the paperwork
- sourcing relevant QCFs, where required.
As many contracts now require a CRB check, we offer a service that takes all of the administration from you and ensures that applications are correct - as it can slow down the issue of a Check if even one minor box is filled in incorrectly.
